Hello everyone

I'm looking for ideas and information on how to set up some tanks running through a sump. The tanks will be
90cm wide
90cm lenth
55cm high
each tank measures to 455L but will be 400L ea cause they won't be filled to the top. So a total of 3600L for each system but will be roughly 3800L for each system after the sump and all the media is put on.


There will be 9 tanks of this size on a steel stand 3 up and 3 across. The sump will be used on the ground on a crate and exactly the same size of tank being used.

I'm really mind blank on how i will put all of this together, so could some one please explain how i can put all of this together please, it will be alot of help. Picture of a similiar setup would be very helpful for me or even links.
I know i will have to put a whole into each tank at the top and run pipe along to each tank.

Can someone please help me
 
Have each level overflow down to the next. (route the overflow to the out put of the tank below) then at the bottom 3 tanks overflow to the sump. Then just use a powerfull pump to pump water back up to the top where it will be split to the 3 tanks.
